FLEMINGTON -- The Western Jersey Wheelmen are planning a 32-mile ride through Hunterdon County in commemoration of the 80th anniversary of the Lindbergh baby kidnapping, which occurred on March 1, 1932.

The ride will start 10 a.m. Saturday, March 3 from Mine Brook Park in Raritan Township and the public is welcome, but the cycling ride will include some hill climbs.

The riders are hoping to get permission to enter the Lindbergh estate grounds, on the East Amwell-Hopewell township boundary, where the baby was stolen. In Flemington, a tour of the old Hunterdon County Courthouse and the jail, where Bruno Richard Hauptmann was tried and housed, has been arranged with Sheriff Frederick Brown at the end of the ride.

One of the members will relate the story while the ride is under way and afterward at the Shaker Cafe for lunch.
